[Bug]: Incorrect incompatible apps notification during Nextcloud server update from version 32.0.9 to version 33.0.3

[Dretech]

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️

• This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
• This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
• Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
• I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.

Bug description

I performed the upgrade from Nextcloud 32.0.9 to Nextcloud 33.0.3 via the web interface. Before I started the upgrade, Nextcloud indicated: "All apps have a compatible version for this Nextcloud version available."

During the second screen of the update (in which the apps are updated), I received the following message:

"These incompatible apps will be disabled:

Deck (deck)
Team folders (groupfolders)
Nextcloud Office (richdocuments) "

After the update, these 3 apps were not disabled. After the update, the following versions are active:

• Deck 1.17.1
• Team folders 21.0.7
• Nextcloud Office 10.1.3

After some quick tests, they also seem to work well. When I look at the specifications of the apps in the Nextcloud app store (https://apps.nextcloud.com), the above versions of these 3 apps are compatible with Nextcloud 33.0.3. I get the impression that in the 2nd screen of the Nextcloud update (in which the apps are updated), the message appears incorrectly stating that these 3 apps are not compatible with Nextcloud 33.0.3.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Nextcloud 32.0.9 with the apps deck, team folders and Nextcloud Office
2. Update in browser Nextcloud to version 33.0.3
3. See the message during the upgrade (in the second screen in which the apps are updated)

Expected behavior

During the update (in the second screen when updating the apps), Nextcloud reports that all apps are compatible with Nextcloud 33.0.3.

Cannot write into "config" directory!
This can usually be fixed by giving the web server write access to the config directory.

But, if you prefer to keep config.php file read only, set the option "config_is_read_only" to true in it.
